Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Traveller Education Policy: Department of Education
Mr. Frank Hanlon:
We do not know. Hopefully, we will know soon but I suspect there has been a drop. Previously, we did not know what the figures were but anecdotally, it was happening. The key issue is the consent aspect because before these guidelines were introduced, parents did not have to give consent for a reduced timetable.
